Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, therapy will be different depending on the individual. In general, you can expect to discuss the current events happening in your life, your personal history relevant to your current concerns, and new insights and growth during the therapy process. Depending on your specific needs, therapy can be short-term, for a specific issue, or longer-term, to deal with more difficult patterns or your desire for more personal development.  Either way, it is most common to schedule regular weekly sessions with your therapist.

It is important to understand that you will get more results from therapy if you actively participate in the process.  The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you integrate what you learn in sessions into your daily life.  Therefore, beyond the work you do in therapy sessions, your therapist may suggest some things you can do outside of therapy to support your process – such as reading a pertinent book, journaling on specific topics, noting particular behaviors or taking action on your goals. People seeking therapy are ready to make changes in their lives and are open to new perspectives.

A number of benefits are available from participating in therapy. Therapists can provide support, strengthen problem-solving skills, and enhance coping strategies for concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, loss, stress management, identity & body image issues, as well as creative blocks. Many people also find that therapists can be tremendous assets to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marital issues, and the hassles of daily life. Therapists can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem and help you shift your attitude and level of understanding of yourself in relation to the problem. The benefits you obtain from therapy depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. Some of the benefits available from therapy include:  

• Attaining a better understanding of yourself, your goals and values

Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and a therapist. Successful therapy requires a high degree of trust so that clients may feel safe and comfortable to open up and share about their experiences and emotions. Basically, whatever you say in therapy stays in therapy. However, there are times when a therapist is legally obligated to break confidentiality. These conditions include: Harm to self or others, A child under the age of 16 or older adult in care is in danger, Your files are subpoenaed, and A client experienced a health emergency during session.
